Christian Israel Arroyo Bio Info

Christian grew up a Devil Rays fan and was born two months after Tampa Bay was awarded a franchise in March 1995…Rocco Baldelli was his favorite player, and he often proudly sported a green Baldelli jersey…before he learned of being traded to Tampa Bay, his agent had arranged for the two to meet over lunch during the offseason... His mother raised him alone from age 2-12 and could be considered his first hitting coach…she read Ted Williams' The Science of Hitting and attended local hitting clinics, using that knowledge to teach Christian…she even threw him batting practice while eight months pregnant in preparation for U.S. National Team tryouts... While with the Giants, Matt Duffy provided Christian with instruction and advice in the minor leagues and at spring training…Arroyo credits him with helping ease his transition from shortstop to third base... Christian singled off Clayton Kershaw for his first career hit…the achievement didn't sink in until he received the ball after the game and saw Kershaw's name written on it.... In 2011, his Hernando High School team reached the state semifinals but lost to a Jesuit High School squad led by Lance McCullers…the highlight of his weekend was watching José Fernández pitch for Alonso High School as a senior... His other local interests include charter fishing in New Port Richey and cheering on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Lightning.
